Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a system for monitoring events of a target application of an application unit and communicating the data obtained by monitoring to a remote party. The system can handle various data formats and communication protocols, making it easy to set up and analyze the received data. The system can efficiently communicate the monitored event information to a transmission unit and verify the combination of the two parameters specifying the format and protocol. The invention can be used for monitoring software programs, control panels of devices, and any other devices or services. The data obtained by monitoring events of a target application can be collected, logged, and communicated to a desired location using a store-and-forward protocol or a direct connection protocol. The technical effects of the invention include efficient and cost-effective monitoring of events and facilitation of data analysis and analysis of user behavior.

Problems solved by technology

Some events may be caused by abnormal conditions such as paper jam in the copiers.
Some error conditions and warning conditions may be caused by errors in the software installed in the target appliances and devices.

Embodiment Construction

[0049]Referring now to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate identical or corresponding parts throughout the several views, FIG. 1 illustrates (1) various machines and (2) computers for monitoring, diagnosing and controlling the operation of the machines. In FIG. 1, there is a first network 16, such as a Local Area Network (LAN) connected to computer workstations 17, 18, 20 and 22. The workstations can be any type of computers including IBM Personal Computer compatible devices, Unix-based computers, or Apple Macintoshes. Also connected to the network 16 are (1) a digital image forming apparatus 24, (2) a facsimile machine 28, and (3) a printer 32. As would be appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art, two or more of the components of the digital image forming apparatus 24 and the facsimile machine 28 can be combined into a unified “image forming apparatus.” The devices 24, 28 and 32 and the workstations 17, 18, 20 and 22 are referred to as machines or monitor...

Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for (1) collecting information from a remote application unit and / or (2) diagnosing or controlling the remote application unit. By utilizing a shareable computer code device (e.g., a dynamic linked library), a new application can utilize tested, proven code without having to reproduce existing functionality. Moreover, by supporting multiple data formats and / or multiple communication protocols, a computer code device increases the likelihood that a supported format and / or protocol will be either receivable or understandable by a receiver.
